The winner of the "Must play despite any real evidence and hated by the Coach Player" is Gareth Moore.

Aye Morton by a mile I'm afraid

TBF Morton has gone backwards and it is crucial now that he finds his form, especially in defence, and soon!

Again I have to agree with you. Young Dale Morton has many qualities however he also has two serious faults.

1. His defensive positioning is terrible at times (maybe coaching can help this)

2. Lacks the pace to be a SL standard winger (lot more difficult to remedy)

Sadly this is true. When he broke into the team a couple of years ago he showed that although very raw he had potential. But i'm afraid that potential is as yet unfulfilled and it does appear his confidence is shot and as such is going backwards. Some of the decisions he makes defensively are terrible as well and he is unlikely to rectify this playing academy rugby after this amount of time. If ever a young lad needed to drop down a level on a dual reg deal in order to regain his confidence and learn his trade against seasoned pro's its Dale. Our problem is that we don't have a great deal of natural wing cover so he risks being exposed in our first team. We could do with a bit of cheap experienced wing cover on a short term deal whilst Dale goes away and makes the improvements that will enable his potential to finally come to the surface.

liked the look of sam fletcher he has the size and potential to go on .is he any relation to andy fletcher

That's not what the scapegoat player is. It's the player some fans just choose not to like regardless of how he plays. Morton will be to blame for every loss we sustain this year even though as a winger he has a limited impact on most games according to them. Your honest critique is fine, but that's not what I'm on about, I'm on about certain fans need for a whipping boy.

I also have seen nothing from Morton to suggest he should command a first team spot. He is not as bad as some suggest and has been made to look poor on occasions by his equally inept team mates which is the Wingers curse. I say that because like many he's played most of his first team RL at the club at a time when things were not great so there is some mitigation.

For me his biggest problem is as Jack says he has no obvious physical attributes to compensate for his youthful inexperience. Do we have an alternative, I suspect we probably do. I wouldn't pick him if anyone was ever daft enough to let me or any fan pick a team but if he is picked I will give him my full support.

He does not hide from the hard stuff and holds his own in the tackle, he can finish tries given the chance but last night he looked to struggle with confidence under the high ball ( it did swirl like crazy though)

If he can get linked up with a centre who he can work with then maybe some of his weak points can be ironed out, lets face it he's played with all sorts inside him, (even hendo at times) not really settled centres through is time at Wakey.

All wingers have WEAK points, well at least it seems all English wingers have.

Jury is still out for me but he gets my support when playing in a Trin shirt, but i think its a important season for Dale.

People will always single out players and point the finger at weak links. It's not a matter of being a scapegoat it's just obvious that certain players are not up to the required standard. If you see someone underperforming consistently or just not bothered (Tommy Lee springs the mind) they are going to get some clog, deservedly.

This.

But Morton started last year.

Have you taken time to look at Tommy Lees stas for last season?
